Work Text:
The bronze page fell
down through the hole
where he waited for death
with a lance through his soul.
a prince who acted less then so
was given punishment that was fair
but no one should have to die like that
body halved and hanging by a hair.
the princess witch also went
she ran into a most wrong place
thus she received a hole in her chest
and died with shock frozen on her face.
The quiet boy of great STRENGTH
could not overcome where he was weak
and thus the highblood was defeated
and in the moment turned so meek.
His comrade the feline rogue
went to avenge his being slain
alas she failed, and she died waiting
for the knight who never came.
The scoundrel thief who for so long
knew only what it was to win
was stabbed through her turned back
by a lawful seer and her blind grin.
And all these children
relied upon
the single knight
who tried so hard
yet lost his fight
And the knight looked up
into the sky
and wished that those he loved
had never died.
